"In Photography as Activism, Michelle Bogre discusses the philosophy and history of
photography's role in social reform. Beginning with the invention of the camera, she
traces the earliest instances of photographic activism through to today's emerging
practices, profiling the most prominent activists of their time and their legendary
images. Also profiled are contemporary photographer activists, including Jonathan
Torgovnik. A photograph from Torgovnik's activist project, Intended Consequences,
about the mass rape of Tutsi women during the Rwanda genocide in 1994, is featured
on the cover of this book. His photographs spread awareness of the consequences of
genocide and sexual violence, and have helped the Rwanda Foundation (www.foundationrwanda.org)
that he created raise more than a million dollars to fund secondary school education
for the children. Other featured photographers include: -Eugene Richards -Marcus Bleasdale
-Tom Stoddart -Jonathan Torgovnik -Edward Kashi -Brent Stirton -Stephen Dupont -Walter
Astrada With an appendix featuring additional websites, magazines, galleries, festivals,
foundations, grants, and advice for the budding activist, this book is not only a
comprehensive study of activist photography, but also a call to action for photographers
with a cause"
